The staff looked after my bags during breakfast. I appreciated that. the room had excellent lighting. there were good options for working at the desk and seating, a plus for a basic room.
the lift wasn't working, and my room was on the top floor. the pillows felt lumpy and awful. the bed wasn't that comfy either, a real disappointment.
